Horde players can pick this book up too. Sadly they can't accept the quest. It says "That quest is not available to your race." Would've been a good reason to infiltrate Stormwind :P

Sadly this never dropped for me after a full completion of Duskwood. Doubt it is worth the farm either

Comment by Varmkorx

This is not an item you want to farm for...

Just cross your fingers while you are questing in Duskwood, since it may drop from almost any mob in that zone.

Comment by Ailindah

As this item is one of two ways for players to know to goto Southshore (following the game and quest progression that is) they should consider upping the drop rate. Usually by the time players get to Southshore they have leveled past it's usefulness.

This item will converted to Solid Gold Coin if you transfer to Horde.

What?

Comment by Arikan

Oddly enough, this item still drops though the corresponding quest has been removed (presumably during the zone revamp in Cataclysm). Can't be sold, though still useful for nostalgia and filling excess bag space.

This item still drops. It use to offer a level 20 quest asking you to turn in the book at the library in Stormwind. The quest is no longer in game. This item is just bag space now.

Could atleast have been readable..

Dropped off one of the robers in a little camp in Duskwood, The hushed bank. Near the Border of the Forest. Forget the name but it was a group of Robers by a fire.

I needed the bag slot but when I tried to dump it the prompt read, "Do you want to destroy An Old History Book?" This made me very sad. I hope they give it a quest. Just a simple turn-in would be fine with me, saving a book is it's own reward. Hmm, that sounded better in my head....

What does this item serve?

Comment by Galadius

I just looted this from a Fetid Corpse while in Duskwood questing for my twink rogue. I guess it is in the game, I cannot see a purpose of any kind however.

Comment by mpjunk

If memory serves correctly this item sent you on a quest to Hillsbrad.

The item still drops in Duskwood, dropped for me today :-)

Comment by marc2241

you can still get this item i got it on my rogue today

Comment by Rez0Rex

This item is still available in-game as a drop in Darkshire; I found it as an Alliance Pandaren there from a Fetid Corpse.

However it has no resale value at all, and has no apparent use.As far as I can see, the quest that involves this item is what doesn't exist anymore.

Shame I have no intention of swapping to Horde on the account I got it on. X___X For the gold it's almost worth it.But until Blizzard introduce cross-faction mailing... It's useless to me.

as of 1/17/14 i pick it up from a undead flesh eater it junk but can be good for role play

Comment by sniper92

Started a new character and this item dropped. Reminded me of that old quest which leads to Southshore. That was one of my favorite zones in classic and TBC. I have put a lot of time into enjoying this game so I guess I'm entitled to be nostalgic. I'll hang onto this "Old History Book" for awhile.

Comment by Grovin

To say "This item is no longer available within the game" is absolutely incorrect. It just dropped for me off of one of the Vul'Gol ogres in Duskwood on 2/17/2014.

It may no longer be useful for anything, but that is a totally different thing from being no longer available.

I remember getting this at the end of a quest in Duskwood with a character I brought through. I just received another copy of this book last night with another of my characters that I'm leveling in the area. If the book is not supposed to be apart of the game anymore, why are people still getting them? Unless I'm the only one to get the book still which I kind of doubt since I'm not the only person leveling through Duskwood.

I just got one farming cloth from the undead in the graveyard...

Comment by nimradon

Just pick-pocketed this thing up today, 27 Nov, 2014. Still available int he game, does nothing though.

Comment by Roguinaa

14th of December, 2014 it dropped from the Ogre Boss in Vul'Gol ogre mound.

Or in understandable words: Blizzard is lazy already... since cata i guess?
